1783 Boston Harbor Riot

The 1783 Boston Harbor Riot occurred in late November 1783, involving troops of the Continental Army and the citizens of Boston, Massachusetts in the United States. In an affair that killed five soldiers and a civilian, the weakness of the US government was shown for a second time after the 1783 Adams Tavern Riot.

History
The 1783 Adams Tavern Riot, occurring the same day as the Boston Harbor Riot, left a soldier and two civilians of Boston, Massachussets dead. The Continental Army's willingness to harm its citizens showed the desperation of the United States government, and people were upset about these abuses. Shortly after, the Assassin Order Master Assassin Ratonhnhake:ton incited another riot in the Boston Harbor, where the Boston Tea Party of 1773 showed the American people's opposition to tyrany. A patrol of Continental troops arrived after a patriot militiaman tried to calm the protesters down, but Ratonhnhake:ton delivered the first blow by killing two soldiers. Three more were killed before the soldiers ran away in fear, and a civilian lady was bayonetted to death. The riot left six Americans dead.
